Why is the Dropbox desktop application uninstalling itself?
I have installed DropBox App, but it keeps uninstalling itself.
The blue Right-Click menus have disappeared and DropBox is NOT cinching.
I have tried to reinstall the App 6 times.
At first everything looks fine and than cinching the files.
But a few hours later DB disappears and not cinching.
I have almost lost important work because of this.
What is going on guys?
DropBox used to be issue free for over 10 years and now everything is over complicated and NOT working right.
What is going on with the uninstalling issue?
I have never seen anything like this in my life with any program.
Thanks AdidA

Try the advanced reinstall.

How about You write an installer that does not cause any problems.
We don't have time for this.
My new years policy is that, if anything gives me a problem I get rid of it!
I have 3 x 1-Terabyte external drive sitting here.
I just go back to manual backup, problem solved.
Software in general has been absolute garbage in the last few years.
Who are you paying to write your software?
Some roocky right out of college for $20/hour?
Have a nice day!
